Cops found Michael Jackson's fingerprint and a fingerprint from the boy accusing him of sex abuse on the "same page" of a porno mag seized from the pop star's home last year, according to a published report.
The fingerprints, allegedly found in a copy of Barely Legal magazine, could help bolster the boy's claim that Jackson used porno mags to get him aroused, according to a story in this week's National Enquirer.
Jackson, 46, is accused of molesting the then-13-year-old cancer survivor and conspiring to hold the boy and his family hostage at Neverland early last year. Jackson has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
The boy, who turned 15 on Dec. 2, told investigators Jackson kept a stash of porno mags in a briefcase in his bathroom. When cops searched Neverland in November 2003, they found the porn stash in that location, the Enquirer says.
At a recent court hearing, Santa Barbara County prosecutor Ron Zonen said "magazines" were part of the evidence against Jackson.
Barely Legal, which is published by Hustler mag honcho Larry Flynt, reportedly contains pictures of adult women dressed as saucy teenagers.
Jackson's lawyer Tom Mesereau and prosecutors are under a gag order and cannot comment on the case.
Cops raided Neverland for the second time Friday. They took photos and measurements of Jackson's home for use in creating trial exhibits, and a DNA sample from Jackson's mouth.
Cops also nosed around the ranch's telephone and communications systems, a source told the Daily News.
According to the Enquirer, investigators are trying to prove that from his bedroom, Jackson had the ability covertly to monitor and record phone conversations elsewhere on the ranch.
The trial is set to begin Jan. 31.

I admit, its looking more and more like Jacko is more wacko than I thought. Even being as nutty as he is you don't have porn laying around with young children etc.
Looks like I was wrong in giving jacko the benefit of a doubt huh ? For all he's done for kids and the bad things like this are what he'll be remembered for. Very sad.
What I find a bit strange is that this being the xxth time mr. Jackson is brought to the bar in relation to sexual abuse, all cases involving teenage boys. I'm not saying he's guilty but Lets face it, the possibility he's being framed is getting slimmer by the day.
I think its about time w get to grips with this **** and start thinking real hard about how to protect our kids from pedophiles. Its a problem that been around for way too long and is far more widespread than most folks would like to know.
And calhunter, you're absolutely right: The kid is gonna need help. lots of it. From just about everybody you can imagine, his folks, school, society and professional therapists. I happen to be one, I specialize in working with abused boys. I can tell you sir, if he doesn't get treated, he's in for a life of hurt...probably putting this **** away untill he's in his late 20ties and then it all falls down on him. Voila, a ruind life. He'll get back on his feet, a lot of chances and opportunities poorer and he'll has to face all of it alone.
Sexual abuse sits deeper than whats commonly believed. Its a life sentence for most, and in a way, that is what makes it such a hiddious crime.
The wierdest part of all of this is that he could have set up a private compound deep in the middle of nowhere and buggered all the little boys he wanted in secret without anyone being the wiser , but he just had to do it in California . How stupid can you get ?

OJ bought his way out or murder, I suppose its possible. Maybe the defendants will sell their pain and suffering for a few million out of court like the Kobe girl did ?
